I have been singing the praises of this film. It is a zombie-esque film with a unique twist as to how the "virus" is spread.
In addition to being an incredible and creepy film, it has one of the best opening dialogues (Monologues) of any horror movie.

No. While I haven't seen it I've seen the case at Blockbuster. Isn't this the one with the DJ?

Yes it is. It takes place almost entirely in a radio station. Up to a certain point in the film where it sort of falls apart all the action is described rather than shown.
It sort of unravels toward the end, but a good 75 percent of the film is amazing and downright scary.

Just watched this and I agree with your take for the most part. I think the last 25 percent tries really hard to get a message across and in doing that it kind of loses the steam that the first part of the movie built up so well. All in all a pretty freaking entertaining movie.
Thanks for the recommend. I hadn't even heard of this movie until seeing this thread.
